Esta, la más importante e inmortal obra de Shakespeare, llega a las más altas cimas de la poesía y de la tragedia. Toda la pieza es un largo dúo de amor cantado con el fondo conflictivo de dos familias rivales –los Montesco y los Capuleto–, donde se combinan la acción dramática con las riñas a espada, el desarrollo azaroso y vivo, el colorido del lenguaje de nobles y plebeyos, lo mundano y lo popular. La muerte de Romeo y Julieta consigue...

Unpopular during Shakespeare's lifetime, the play remains one of his least staged works to this day. Despite this, scholars praise All's Well That Ends Well for its moral ambiguity. "The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together, our virtues would be proud...

The Winter's Tale is a play by William Shakespeare, originally published in the First Folio of 1623. Although it was grouped among the comedies, some modern editors have relabeled the play as one of Shakespeare's late romances. Some critics consider it to be one of Shakespeare's "problem plays", because the first three acts are filled with intense psychological drama, while the last two acts are comedic and supply a happy ending.
The play has been...
